Hawak Kamay To redefine The Filipino Family Staring July 21

What happens when you leave three adopted children in the hands of A depressed drunkard who dreams of becoming a famous musician?

Piolo will be taking on “Hawak Kamay” along with three of the country’s most powerful child stars, Zaijan Jaranilla, Andrea Brillantes, and Xyriel Manabat. The series will also introduce Grand i-Shiner Yesha Camile, who was under the mentorship of Piolo during her stint in the Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp.

REEL DEAL" “SEX TAPE” Uncovers Main Posters For All To See

Columbia Pictures has revealed two main posters (International and US) for its upcoming adult comedy “Sex Tape” starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel. Both onesheets feature the couple with bewildered expressions – and who couldn't blame them, with the embarassing fiasco they've gotten themselves into?

In “Sex Tape,” Jay (Segel) and Annie (Diaz) are a married couple still very much in love, but ten years and two kids have cooled the passion. To get it back, they decide – why not? – to make a video of themselves trying out every position in THE JOY OF SEX in one marathon three-hour session. It seems like a great idea, until they discover that their most private video has gone public. In a panic, they begin a wild night of adventure – tracking down leads, roping in friends, duping Annie’s boss – all to reclaim their video, their reputation, their sanity, and, most importantly, their marriage.
